                              HEALTH CARE

  (Ms. FOXX asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Ms. FOXX. Mr. Speaker, after weeks of meeting behind closed doors, 
last week Speaker Pelosi unveiled her latest plan for a government 
takeover of health care.
  According to a preliminary estimate by the Congressional Budget 
Office, the Pelosi health care plan includes more than $1 trillion in 
new Federal spending on health care over the next 10 years. And when 
one looks past the budget gimmicks, the reality is the Pelosi health 
care plan will cost taxpayers roughly $1.3 trillion and create 111 new 
bureaucracies.
  This is not the kind of responsible health care reform the American 
people want. It's time for Speaker Pelosi to dump her budget-buster 
plan masquerading as health care reform and start over.
  House Republicans have a plan for health care reform that will lower 
costs and provide greater access to affordable health care for all 
Americans. That's what the American people want.
